LMC - NGC 2070 Mosaic

This is one of my long term project. I did a test from Wiruna on the edge of the LMC where the Tarentula is. This is a composite of 4 frames. Approx 5x10min on each then merged into a composite. It seems to work quite well. My goal is to map the whole LMC in a series of similar shots. Then move on to the Orion Area.

The small version: http://www.multiweb.com.au/astro/NGC2070_pano_s.jpg [2.17MB]
The big version: http://www.multiweb.com.au/astro/NGC2070_pano.jpg [8.6MB]

The attached version was reduced to fit within the 200KB size restriction. There are a couple of hot pixels still visible on the high-res and full-res version. As for the slight green tinge, I always got it on the LMC. I guess it was still pretty low when I got those subs and there was a slight glow to the south east. I'll have to try when it's much higher in the sky.
Comments/Tips most welcome. Thanks for looking.
